Manners Will Take You Where Brains and Money Won't: Wisdom from Momma and 35 Years at NASA

by Donald G. James

About the Book

With Manners Will Take You Where Brains and Money Won’t, Donald James goes beyond handshakes and thank-you notes to explain how the true definition of manners is the authentic and genuine way we show up in the world. With inspiring and thought-provoking stories from his 35 years in public affairs and education at NASA, and guided by the lessons his mother taught him, Donald explains how having good manners is a key ingredient to finding purpose, fulfillment, and meaning in business and in life. With an engaging foreword by Congressman Eric Swalwell, Manners Will Take You Where Brains and Money Won’t represents a call to dignity and etiquette at a time in our history when those qualities matter more than ever. The book is an essential guide for recent graduates, young professionals, mentors, human resource managers, and anyone who wants to build fulfilling and meaningful relationships at work and elsewhere.

    I really appreciate the message behind this book because it reframes manners as something deeper than etiquette. From my perspective, showing up with respect, consistency, and humility often opens doors that raw intelligence or money never could. Stories from NASA add credibility, because high-pressure, high-stakes environments reveal character fast. It also reminds me how long-term value works in other systems I follow, where understanding fundamentals like circulating supply matters more than hype, similar to this clear explanation I once read here: https://paybis.com/blog/glossary/what-is-circulating-supply/. Whether in careers or communities, sustainable success is built on trust, patience, and how we treat people every day.
